spectacular one was run on a twelve-lap to the mile course marked out on the floor morrissey who lead off for le high was forced to give the lead to hopkins first runner on account of being placed next to the pole with one of the sharp curves a short dis tance from the start morrissey t railed his man until the second turn of the last lap when he came up to him and sprinting passed him on the straightaway handing a four-yard lead to mcgrath at the touch-off the second baltimore runner however passed mcgrath on the first turn and held the lead until the first turn of the last lap when

seconds dr hibshman gives inspiring address the mechanism of heredity dr robert w hall head of the biology department will give a talk with original charts on the me chanism of heredity in coppee hall this friday evening at eight o'clock this lecture is one of wide interest and the members of the arts and science society under whose auspices it is being present ed extend a hearty invitation to the

kindred subjects will without doubt be present this friday evening the meeting will be informal and an op portunity will be given to ask ques tions important college meeting will be held friday morning at 11.00 o'clock in packer hall the college lecture last friday was given by mr george t fonda safety engineer of the bethlehem steel company mr fonda spoke on safety and welfare methods and in order to illustrate his lecture with slides and moving pictures de livered his lecture in the orpheum theatre before showing the pictures the speaker gave a preliminary outline of the safety first movement he said in part : perhaps you won't wonder that such a movement as the safety first movement has grown so rap idly when you consider the figures relative to industrial accidents prior to 1908 these figures showed an average of 25,000 deaths resulting from two million more or less seri ous industrial accidents annually in the united states in other words you might say that every twenty minutes of the day throughout the entire year a workman was killed and eveiw twelve seconds of the day a workman taken to the hospital with serious injuries this wholesale slaughter of hu manity was going on year after year practically unnoticed because these tragedies were scattered and did not involve any one great catas trophe at the time of the titan ic disaster fifteen hundred souls went to eternity and the whole world was shocked ; yet a far greater catastro phe avas occurring year in and year out but because it was distributed over a period of 365 days no one noticed it to-day however the situation has am entirely different countenance and you find the large majority of the manufacturers in this country striving to conserve mankind the country's greatest re source in the brief period since 1908 statistics show that a reduc tion of fifty per cent has been ef fected as based upon the figures prior to that date when safety first was umthought of to any very large extent so much for the reason for the work which is being done fundamentally the general de velopment of any safety first cam paign is based upon two things i c mechanical safeguarding of danger ous machinery and the education of workmen statistics show that on ly twenty per cent of all accidents could be prevented by means of me chanical safeguards the remaining eighty per cent being a direct re sult of careless methods which can only be eliminated by properly edu cating the workmen 1 . although these are the facts you can never theless understand that you must safeguard your machines etc about the plant and thereby show a dol lars and cents interest in the gen eral propaganda if you expect your men to believe you are sincere in the work you are trying to do af ter you have started systematic safeguarding of dangerous places you have then laid the foundation for other methods of accident pre vention most important of which is the educational campaign it is my purpose to show you graphically by the use of slides and motion pictures how this work is being done and while the slides i will show you are photographs tak en in the plants of the bethlehem steel company they at the same time are representative of the work which is being done all over the country to-day continued on third page first as to welfare work which is being developed in the industries of this country under this heading is included sanitary drinking water dr a h hibshman the speaker of the evening at the y m c a meeting last sunday chose for his subject the contest which em braced the thirteenth verse of the sixth chapter ephesians : where fore take unto you the whole ar mour of god that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all to stand throughout the lecture the speak er laid stress upon the formation of habits emphasizing the only too lit tle believed fact that habits once formed are hard to break and are performed in a purely mechanical manner in one of his statements he declared that a student who wished to leave college a better man than when he entered had indeed a hard fight before him the lecture was enjoyed by all present and the forceful and in structive manner of presentation held the attention of the apprecia tive audience throughout a soprano solo was rendered by miss lionne smith and a vocal duet by misis may and miss rita fox of

birdsall alterna ting with him the description of the hauto plant and transmitting system was the subject matter of mr weaver's first talk the power generating plant of the company is situated at hauto pa west of mauch chunk the plant was located in this region because it was desired to utilize the siftings of the coal which is mined near there by the lehigh coal & navigation company a great sav ing can therefore be realized in the matter of fuel the main trunk-line running from the central station is 26 miles long and carries power at 110,000 volts the end of this line is near siegfrieds pa where the first sub station is located the line then continues directly east through bath and xazareth to martins creek which marks the end of the line martins creek lies to the north of easton this line carries the cur rent at a lower pressure of 22,000 volts and along the line branches are taken off at intervals to supply the various communities mr weaver illustrated his talk with a number of lantern slides pre pared by mr birdsall which were thrown upon the screen by profes sor franklin the slides gave an idea of the appearance of the plant continued on third page the brown and white
